Many are desperate for diverse things in life. They desire to be “someone” in the future. They pursue this goal by obtaining an educational background, seeking advice from friends, and utilising tutorials. That is commendable!
One’s desire can be directed toward either short-term or long-term achievements. A short-term achievement might involve acquiring a car, mansion, or company, among other things, which provide momentary satisfaction.
While short-term achievements are worthwhile, focusing on desiring the best for others, building someone’s future, and making lasting changes in someone’s life should be our primary goal. This is a glorious impact that the Lord desires for us.
Always ask yourself, “If I am not around, who will take charge after me?” This question will instill in you the desire to mentor those who will succeed you, enabling them to bring out their best. These individuals are the “NEXT GENERATION” after you.
Jesus had a desire to save all of creation through the disciples, of which we are a part. That is why He gave up his life for us [John 19:30: “When Jesus, therefore, had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.”].
Your current desires should aim for positive, permanent changes in someone’s life. You are in this world to build, not to destroy, and to help people recognise their ability to do all things through Christ Jesus!
Your ultimate desire is to see the Kingdom of God manifest in everyone. This desire can be achieved by discovering your ministry within this Church. To be unleashed and create a global impact, you need to identify what the Lord has called you to be and do. This alignment will help you fulfill God’s desire.
Be attentive, for you have been unleashed to transform your world according to God’s desire, which has now become your ultimate desire. BE TRANSFORMATIVE!
